Just got a pair of BBMF's here about a month ago for $65 shipped.


Good luck with your trade!

SHHHHhhhhh don't let him know.  They're available at Tampa for $65 if I'm not mistaken and they're readily available whenever you want!

I don't think BBMF's are awesome but the Franks are well past there prime just not as good as they were in there youth.

So, are the only Nic sticks that age well Padrons ???  I swear alot of Nic sticks after a couple years turn into ashy garbage... with no good flavors remaining at all.  Alot of people are reporting that most older Tats (2+ years) are past their prime, and its obvious that Viaje doesn't age well.

I guess I am done collecting $9-15 yard gars that in 2 years will be worth nothing more than to keep the bugs away while I mow the yard... pretty sad.

I have yet to smoke a bad and ashy 5 year old CC.

At the Fuente event this past year at Holt's in Philly, the BBMF Nats were on sale for $40, and the BBMF Maddies were $50.

They still had natties at that price 3 weeks ago.

I've never smoked either one, but I'll stay tuned to this thread with the hope that FG posts soon. Cuz you know his post will be either humorous or ridiculous :)

Yeah, I saw that too :rotf:.  I just bought 6 on Friday for $12.00 per.  I'll never knock anyone for pricing stuff too high however...that's a lot steep.  Someone out there will pay it though

Just to continue this thread jack - I smoked an Illusione 888 from 2008 last year that was great, not showing any sign of decline, but probably at it's peak.

Smoked a 2008 Tat Unico that was past its prime, smokeable, but not much better than a yard gar (which is where I was smoking it).

I'm trying to smoke up my 2-3 year old NCs as I transition to mostly CCs.
